I feel like I'm driving off a cliff. I'm leading my company's expansion into a new market. No one at our company has done this before. The board approved the project based on my proposal, but honestly, I was guessing at a lot of the numbers. Now I have a team of 8 people who relocated for this opportunity. They trust me. But every week brings a new problem I didn't anticipate. Costs are higher than projected. The regulatory environment is more complex. Our timeline is slipping. I'm torn between admitting uncertainty (which might undermine confidence) and projecting confidence (which might be lying). My team needs to believe this will work, but I'm not sure it will. How do I lead into the unknown without either deceiving my team or paralyzing them with my own doubts? — Navigator Without a Map in Nashville
